Yes. In minor traffic collisions things occur that are not immediately noticeable, such as an uninsured driver, damage to the vehicle, or an injury. Some insurance companies require a police report before they will settle the case. North Carolina law does not require that an individual report collisions to the police if there are no injuries and the total amount of property damage is less than $1000.

You do not have to wait to report a missing person. The report should be made to the law enforcement agency of the jurisdiction where the person was last seen.
